  • US fights Canada over new tech tax that could cost Apple billions

    22july201322july2013
    Canada's taxes on Canadians are a lot higher than America's taxes on Americans. America shouldn't expect their tax system to rule the world outside their borders.

  • First-world problems drives Apple's robotics development

    I need a robot to press keys on my computer and move the mouse so I can automate web pages which have captchas that say "I am not a robot."

  • Meta cancels its headset rival to Apple Vision Pro

    The killer app for headsets is entertainment - gaming and media. 
    I agree, as I would have bought one immediately if there was a Vision Pro version of either of my favourite games - Civ and Wow. 

    Blizzard has always been highly supportive of the Mac platform, so I can't ever be upset with them. Firaxis said this week that CIV VII releases in six months and will be available on every platform (including every console, so they say.) They probably don't mean to include Vision Pro in that statement, (or Apple TV) but who knows?

    My guess is the boat captain was a little busy getting a happy ending somewhere not in the wheelhouse.
    That may be true, coincidentally explained, as follows, in another thread today:

    Would be a life saver for table space, and mounting ass well.

    Sorry for getting off track from the Mac mini topic, but I think both the Mac mini and Apple TV are products that can serve many different needs and could serve even more if Apple tweaked them up a bit more into being building blocks of modular, flexible, and extensible computing and media systems. The days of extensibility based on single product enhancements is over. Everything is sealed up tight. But extensibility via combining and integrating essential 1st party and 3rd party building block products like the Mac mini, Apple TV, HomePods, HomeKit, and mobile devices is still very much in play.  

    Thanks for all that information! It's just what I needed. One of the best Dell monitor features is its built-in KVM (on many models) which would be really handy for me.
